The people at the main table couldn't read it, and the people in the courtyard couldn't read it.

Old Man Zhao didn't speak quietly, and the whole courtyard was very quiet, so everyone could hear what Old Man Zhao said clearly.

Old man Zhao actually let a person who was not surnamed Zhao or surnamed Dugu sit next to him?

This is the third and fourth most honorable position on the main table.

This is a position that belongs to the two sons of Old Man Zhao, and he was given to a person surnamed Xu like this?

A lot of people feel like they don't have enough brains.

Is this that Old Man Zhao's mind is confused, or does Old Man Zhao have any other deep meaning?

"Taiji, your position is given to Taiping, are you okay?" Old Man Zhao glanced at Zhao Taiji lightly and asked.

Zhao Taiji lowered his head and said, "How could I have an opinion, father." ”

"Old man, don't, what is my identity, I am already scared to sit at the main table, how can I still snatch the position of Brother Tai Chi, no, no, I can just have a sit, otherwise I can stand!" Xu Taiping quickly shook his head.

"Let you sit, you sit. Old Man Zhao frowned and said.

Xu Taiping's brows also furrowed, in his opinion, this old man Zhao must have deliberately roasted him on the fire, and the motive for this was probably because he had a relationship with Zhao Yongliang.

As we all know, Zhao Yongliang is the son of Zhao Taiji, Zhao Yongliang had to drop out of Jiangyuan University because of drug production and trafficking, and was even sent to a training camp, and his life and death are uncertain, all because of his Xu Taiping.

It can be said that between Zhao Taiji and Xu Taiping, even if Zhao Taiji himself doesn't feel it, but in the eyes of outsiders, they also have a deep blood feud, and now that Old Man Zhao has given Zhao Taiji's position to himself, there are only two possible purposes, one is that Old Man Zhao wants to deepen the grudge between him Zhao Taiji and Xu Taiping, and the other is that Old Man Zhao deliberately wants to slap his son Zhao Taiji in the face and make Zhao Taiji pay for his son's stupid behavior.

No matter what these two purposes are, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Taiji and himself will inevitably have no room for maneuver, Zhao Taiji will definitely not dare to resent the old man if he loses someone, then the object of his resentment is only himself.

Xu Taiping was very dissatisfied, he felt that this old man Zhao was an elder, but you can't be so cheating if you are an elder, although he Xu Taiping is not afraid of Zhao Taiji, but he is not willing to casually intensify the contradiction between him and Zhao Taiji, and this contradiction is still intensified by others, which makes Xu Taiping even more dissatisfied.

Xu Taiping was about to throw his face and leave, but Zhao Taixun on the side grabbed Xu Taiping's arm, and then said with a smile, "Okay, Taiping, go sit next to Yingying, I heard that the two of you are also chatting." ”

After saying this, Zhao Taixun gave Xu Taiping a look.

At the main table of this table, Xu Taiping also has a deep relationship with Zhao Taixun, and now seeing Zhao Taixun slapping his eyes, Xu Taiping hesitated, but after all, he didn't throw his face and leave, but followed Zhao Taixun to Dugu Ying's side, and then sat down.

After Xu Taiping took his seat, the people present sat down one by one.

Zhao Qingshan sat two positions away from Xu Taiping, this position is not important at the wine table, but in this compound, this position represents the relationship between Zhao Qingshan and the Zhao family.

When many people saw this scene, they absolutely didn't believe that Zhao Qingshan would have nothing to do with the Zhao family.

After everyone at the table is seated, the birthday banquet has not yet begun, because next, it is time to give congratulatory gifts.

If you put it in the eunuch's house, it will definitely not work, because the state has clear regulations that you can't accept these things, but Mr. Zhao has never been an official, so naturally it can't be regarded as the eunuch's house, this congratulatory gift, that is necessary, after all, this represents the position of the Zhao family in your mind.

For example, if you send a pair of seals carved in Shoushan stone, the person in charge of counting things on the spot will shout out what you sent as soon as possible.

This is a rare opportunity to make a face and grow a face, so many people have started preparing for this birthday gift a few months ago.

Of course, the Zhao family did not use this opportunity to find someone to ask for benefits, the old man Zhao had already said before, all the things he received at his birthday banquet this time, such as cultural toys, would be donated to museums, jewelry and jade, etc., and they would be discounted and donated to places in need, in short, the Zhao family would not take advantage of Old Man Zhao's birthday to make a fortune.

Of course, with the strength of the Zhao family, the things sent by these people present add up, and for the Zhao family, they are actually trivial.

One by one, people walked to the main table, and they gave gifts to Mr. Zhao in turn, some gave jewelry and jade, some gave antiques, some sent art, in short, there were all kinds of them.

These things, if Mr. Zhao likes them very much, he will accept them by himself, so when these gift-givers give gifts, they all hope that Mr. Zhao can accept the gifts by himself, rather than letting the people around him help collect them.

It's a pity that none of the things given by the guests at the seventy tables in the audience were collected by Mr. Zhao himself, and all of them were collected by his subordinates.

Seeing this scene, many people were wondering, is this old man Zhao because he is too old, so he can't tell the value of the gifts he received? Otherwise, how could he not accept anyone's gifts in person?

After all the gifts for the seventy tables in the courtyard have been delivered, it will be the turn of the main table.

Dugu Ying was the first to give a gift, giving a couplet she wrote herself.

This couplet, Old Man Zhao put it away in front of everyone in the audience.

It can be seen from the smile on the old man's face that the old man is very happy.

Xu Taiping couldn't understand a little, why did this old man like Dugu Ying so much, could it be that this old man had any special hobbies?

If Zhao Dingbang knew Xu Taiping's thoughts at this time, he would probably be angry.

One of the reasons why he likes Dugu Ying so much is because Dugu Ying is well-behaved and doesn't speak.

Zhao Dingbang doesn't like to say too much alone, and things that can be clearly explained in one sentence must not be said in two sentences, so Duguying's behavior of not speaking makes him like it very much.

Of course, the most critical point is that Zhao Dingbang has no daughter and no granddaughter.

This is a very good thing for a big family.

Although it is now an era of equality between men and women, for many people, it is the son who really inherits the ancestry, so in the big family, having a son is a very good and necessary thing, but in the Zhao family, this matter has been done to the extreme.

Zhao Dingbang gave birth to three sons.

The three sons bore him many grandchildren.

In Zhao Dingbang's suffocating bloodline, there is no woman!

Not a single one!

This directly led to the fact that the yang energy of the entire Zhao Dingbang's vein was too strong.

As the so-called balance of yin and yang, everything in the world can be balanced, the main vein of the Zhao family is now too prosperous, as the head of the main vein of the Zhao family, Zhao Dingbang must add some feminine things to the main vein of the Zhao family, so Dugu Ying has become such a lucky person, she is deeply loved by the old man Zhao, and her status in the Zhao family is transcendent, in terms of favor, there is no one in the main vein of the Zhao family who can compare with Dugu Ying.

This couplet written by Dugu Ying is very good, after all, even Xu Taiping likes her words very much.

After Dugu Ying, Zhao Taiheng, Zhao Taiji, and Zhao Taixun brothers also gave their own gifts, these three people also had a heart, they didn't send any gold, silver and jewelry, nor did they send any other valuable things, they gave them all prepared by themselves, and it took a lot of time and experience.

The gifts given by the three of them, Zhao Dingbang naturally accepted them by himself.

After these three people, someone gave some gifts, but this time Old Man Zhao confiscated them and went all the way to Zhao Qingshan.

What Zhao Qingshan gave to the old man was a tortoise shell.

The tortoise shell is somewhat damaged, and looking at the traces on it, it should be quite old.

"Old man, this is an old object left by a predecessor in the rivers and lakes more than 3,000 years ago, and I gave it to the old man for reference. Zhao Qingshan said with a smile.

More than 3,000 years ago?!

As soon as Zhao Qingshan's words came out, everyone was stunned.

More than 3,000 years ago, it was the era of the hundred schools of thought, it was the enlightenment era of Chinese martial arts, and it was also known as the most beautiful era, at that time there were many people who practiced martial arts, and these people who practiced martial arts created all kinds of martial arts, all kinds of strange things, and 99% of these martial arts have been lost.

It is rumored that these lost martial arts are more lethal than modern martial arts, because at that time, the greatest role of martial arts was to kill, not like now, the biggest role is fitness and pretending.

Therefore, martial arts more than 3,000 years ago are called ancient martial arts.

Any kind of ancient martial art is very precious, whether from the perspective of learning or scientific research.

Although I don't know what ancient martial arts are recorded on this tortoise shell, as long as it is an ancient martial art, it is a priceless treasure, and this Zhao Qingshan was able to take out a tortoise shell with ancient martial arts recorded, which is really terrifying.

The value of this piece of tortoise shell was definitely more than anything else that anyone else present had ever given them.

"Someone with a heart, green shirt. Old Man Zhao smiled and took the tortoise shell handed over by Zhao Qingshan, and after looking at it for a while, he said, "This is indeed an ancient martial art, and it is almost a complete ancient martial art, I like it very much." ”

After speaking, Old Man Zhao put away the tortoise shell.

When Old Man Zhao accepted the tortoise shell, everyone's eyes looked at Xu Taiping.

In the entire birthday banquet scene, only Xu Taiping was left, and he hadn't delivered anything yet.
